About the Authors
Introduction
Can you believe you’re reading a cannabis
cookbook?
We can hardly believe we’ve written one!
What a wonderful world it is that allows us delightful things
like marijuana edibles. Despite its clean safety record and
numerous health benefits, cannabis is still a bit taboo in
many circles. That’s certainly changing, and with increased
responsible use, we hope minds will continue to open and
welcome this enchanting herb. Cooking with cannabis can
be such a gratifying thing. With just a little time and
preparation, you can make virtually any dish your heart
desires into an edible. However, we love making our edibles
as sweets. Not only do they taste just phenomenal, they are
also a great way to end a meal and bring on a wonderfully
deep sleep or a fun, whacky game night. You’ll be the star of
your next “potluck” when you show up with a batch of some
delicious, low-dose edibles. (Just be sure to label your
goodies so everyone knows they are marijuana edibles!)
We’ve pulled together some of our very favorite desserts
here to get you started in the world of edibles. Whether
you’re interested in marijuana edibles for recreational or
medical reasons, we hope this book helps you find the
experience you’re looking for.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

MARIJIUANA: A CRASH COURSE
Marijuana and marijuana edibles are
prized not only for recreational use but
also for their medicinal benefits.
PLANTS AND STRAINS
Marijuana is typically categorized by its strains:
sativa, indica, and (to a lesser extent) ruderalis.
Sativa is known for its energetic, cerebral effects,
while indica is known for its sedating, full-body high.
Ruderalis strains are low in both THC and CBD,
making them worthless for medicinal or recreational
use on their own. However, they have an
autoflowering feature used by breeders to create
hearty autoflowering strains high in THC or CBD. You
can also find many hybrids that blend the effects of
sativas and indicas into the ideal strain for your mood
or requirements. Check out Leafly (leafly.com) or
VerdaBase (verdabase.com) online for strain
information.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF SMOKING, TEAS, AND


INGESTION
MEDICAL USES OF POT
Cannabis has a wide range of wonderful health
benefits. It increases the appetite while reducing
nausea, making it beneficial to cancer patients and
individuals suffering from HIV/AIDS and cachexia
(wasting syndrome). Cannabis also provides pain
relief along with anti-inflammatory properties, which
is ideal for anyone suffering from chronic pain,
migraines, arthritis, PMS and so on. Marijuana is even
valued for its treatment of stress, anxiety, PTSD, and
depression. Patients with gastrointestinal issues, as
well as those suffering from epilepsy, ALS, and MS,
can find relief with cannabis. Studies have also found
that cannabis's neuroprotective and neurogenerative
properties make it an effective treatment for
Alzheimer’s, stroke, and Parkinson’s disease. While
more studies are required to evaluate the level of
effectiveness in all of these treatments, the research
so far looks promising.

Cannabis Sativa
High in THC with long, fingerlike leaves, these tall
strains are known for their energetic qualities.

Cannabis Indica
These short, stocky strains with wide leaves are
known for their sedative qualities.

Cannabis Ruderalis
Ruderalis strains are found in colder regions and
contain very small leaves and few branches.
Terminology
Marijuana: Slang for
cannabis. It's also known as
weed, mary jane, and pot.

Bud: The flower from the


cannabis plant. This is
where all the medicinal and
psychoactive benefits of
marijuana come from.

THC: Tetrahydrocannabinol, the primary compound found


in cannabis. It's responsible for many of the health
benefits, as well as the psychoactive properties.

CBD: Cannabidiol, the secondary compound found in


cannabis. It has many amazing health benefits without the
psychoactivity of THC.
HOW TO GET FROM BUD TO
BROWNIE
With a few cooking alterations, something
that’s typically smoked can provide the
same high in mouth-watering treats.
HOW POT GETS YOU HIGH RESIN
EXCRETED FROM THE CANNABIS PLANT
CONTAINS HUNDREDS OF CHEMICAL
COMPOUNDS IN THE FORM OF
CANNABINOIDS AND TERPENES, THE
MOST FAMOUS OF WHICH IS THE
PSYCHOACTIVE CANNABINOID THC
FOLLOWED BY CBD. THEY ENTER THE
BLOODSTREAM AND ACTIVATE RECEPTORS
THROUGHOUT THE HUMAN BODY,
PRODUCING THE HIGH ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS WONDERFUL PLANT.
EFFECTS OF MARIJUANA ON THE BRAIN
THC AND CBD, THE MAIN INGREDIENTS IN
MARIJUANA, ATTACH TO RECEPTORS
THROUGHOUT THE BRAIN AND BODY.
BECAUSE A HIGH DENSITY OF THESE
RECEPTORS ARE FOUND ACROSS
MULTIPLE BRAIN REGIONS, YOU CAN
EXPERIENCE VARIOUS EFFECTS FROM THE
DRUG—FOR INSTANCE, RELAXATION,
INCREASED APPETITE, POOR SHORT-TERM
MEMORY, PAIN RELIEF, ANXIETY, AND
EUPHORIA.
In the Brain
Cannabinoids act on neural receptors involved in memory
and perception (cerebral cortex), movement (cerebellum),
appetite (hypothalamus), and pain relief (brain stem).
THE PROCESS
The buds you buy from a dispensary are dried and
cured flowers from the cannabis plant. These, as well
as shake or trim, can be infused into butter or oil for
cooking. But to be effective, the marijuana must first
be decarboxylated.
Sourcing Pot
If you don’t live in a
state with legalized
recreational marijuana
(or in a state with a
medical marijuana
program, if you’re a
qualifying patient),
finding high-quality cannabis can be tricky. Your
best bet is to ask friends who enjoy pot where
they buy theirs.
WHAT TO EXPECT WITH EDIBLES
Edibles have come a long way from the old pot
brownie, but the basics surrounding their
effects remain the same.
INHALING VS.
INGESTING
Whether inhaling or
ingesting, the THC must
first be decarboxylated
(activated from THCA to
THC by heat) to be
effective. When you
smoke marijuana, the
burning of the plant
matter activates THCA
into THC, a
psychoactive
compound, which is
then absorbed into the
bloodstream within
minutes. This means it
affects you more
quickly, but it also
means the effects
diminish quickly. When
you eat anything infused with cannabis, however, THC first
digests in the stomach and then enters the liver before it’s
metabolized and absorbed into the bloodstream. So effects
take longer to begin after ingestion—anywhere from 30
minutes to 3 hours—but can last several hours.
EFFECTS
Like inhaling, marijuana edibles can lead to a range of
effects. While they can differ from person to person and
from strain to strain, most people feel relaxation, sedation,
euphoria, anxiety, paranoia, verbosity, and increased
appetite. It also causes physiological effects, such as rapid
heart rate, dry mouth, and/or red eyes. Edibles are thought
to cause a higher degree of sedation and relaxation. If too
much is consumed, it can result in nausea, dizziness,
hallucinations, and severe anxiety.

Not Feeling It?


Everyone experiences effects differently. New users may not
feel them as strongly as experienced users—research
suggests that ingesting cannabis increases endocannabinoid
receptors, which increases subsequent sensitivity. If you find
the effects weak, next time increase the butter/oil infusion
in the recipe, or use more cannabis in the infusion. A full
stomach will delay effects, as will a slower metabolism.

What to Do If You Eat Too Much


Too much THC can be a very unpleasant thing. While not
fatal, it can cause dizziness, nausea and vomiting,
hallucinations, poor motor skills, and extreme anxiety—not
fun. Luckily, the effects will dissipate in time. While you wait
for them to go away, try to remain calm and don’t drive or
operate heavy machinery. Drink water and try to sleep if you
can. Otherwise, try to pass the time with pleasant movies or
music. For some, coffee and a walk around the
neighborhood can help. CBD is known to dampen the effects
of THC, so if you have access to CBD oil, it may help you
feel more normal.
Edibles Etiquette
Start with a 2.5mg THC dose of an edible to understand
how it will affect you. Wait a day before increasing.
Too much THC in edible form can stay with you for a
while.

Always label homemade edibles with their potency


information.

Keep out of reach of children and pets.


Don’t send edibles through the mail. It is a felony and
puts you, as well as the recipient, at risk of legal action.

If you bring edibles to a party, tape a sign to the plate


indicating what it is (so it won’t fly loose) and make sure
everyone is aware of its potency.
TERPENES
The complex, flavorful bouquet of
cannabis comes from terpenes, secreted
in the resin of the plant.
WHAT ARE TERPENES?
Terpenes are organic compounds produced by plants.
Like cannabinoids, terpenes are excreted in the plant
resin and contribute to the overall effect of cannabis.
But unlike cannabinoids, terpenes are also found in
products people encounter regularly, such as beer
(hops) and essential oils. They are what give
cannabis strains their unique aromas and flavors, like
lemon, mint, pine, and berry. The smell of a strain
may tell you about its effects. For instance, pinene
smells of, well, pine, and promotes alertness;
myrcene, found in mango and thyme, smells earthy
and tropical and is very sedating; and limonene is
citrusy and a mood elevator. This can give you a way
to judge a strain beyond its THC percentage and
whether it’s indica or sativa.

The Entourage Effect Terpenes have a wide range


of effects, parallel to the prized medicinal uses of
cannabis—anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory, anti-
epileptic, pain relief, and so on. Emerging research
has discovered that terpenes work with
cannabinoids synergistically in the overall
medicinal effect of a strain; researchers have
termed this the entourage effect.
PAIRINGS
If you understand the flavor of your cannabis, you
can know how to best pair it with your food. The best
pairing will come if you try a strain including a
particular dominant terpene with food containing that
same terpene. Eating a mango? Try with a strain high
in myrcene. Having a peppery dish? Try a strain with
caryophyllene. And, of course, citrusy treats call for a
strain high in limonene. Really smell your cannabis
and let the taste linger. Understanding the aroma and
taste of terpenes can make you a true “cannasseur.”
TERPENES IN EDIBLES DURING THE
DECARBOXYLATION, INFUSION, AND
COOKING PROCESS, MOST TERPENES ARE
LOST. WHILE SOME COOKS LIKE TO INFUSE

THE INGREDIENTS OF A DISH, CHANCES
ARE IT’S NOT GOING TO MAKE A

TERPENES WERE. ONCE IT’S COOKED INTO
A FOOD, IT’S ALL ABOUT THE

AROMAS ARE SUBTLE ENOUGH THAT YOU
WON’T NOTICE A DIFFERENCE IN THE
TASTE OF YOUR BAKED GOOD WHEN
USING ONE STRAIN OVER ANOTHER. SO
SAVE YOURSELF TIME—AND POSSIBLY
MONEY—BY KEEPING TO MORE POPULAR
STRAINS. HOWEVER, IF YOU WANT TO PAIR
A TASTY STRAIN WITH SOMETHING, TRY
SMOKING IT ALONG WITH FOOD
CONTAINING THE SAME NATURALLY
OCCURRING TERPENE.
Flavor profiles of popular strains Not sure where to
start? Here are a few well-known marijuana strains
and how we think they classify in terms of flavor.
EQUIPMENT
With just a few pieces of equipment, you’ll
be baking edibles in no time.
GENERAL INFORMATION
For your starting infusions, you’ll need cheesecloth, a
fine-mesh strainer, and an electronic scale. All
recipes in this book indicate in the steps any other
equipment required to create the dish, so be sure to
refer to each recipe for the tools you’ll need. While all
of these items can be purchased online, you can also
find them in your local kitchen and home supply
store.

NECESSARY EQUIPMENT
Cheesecloth
This loose-woven cloth is an essential tool for
straining your infusions.

Fine-Mesh Strainer A metal strainer of fine mesh is


another invaluable tool for infusing. Look for one that
will sit on top of a bowl.

Digital Scale When measuring your cannabis, digital


scales are a necessity. Look for one that will measure
in 0.1g increments for expert accuracy.

Parchment Paper A baker’s best friend, parchment


paper will prevent sticky situations. It’s used in
baking as a nonstick, disposable surface.
OTHER EQUIPMENT
Double Boiler A double boiler is essentially two pans
that fit together. The bottom pan is filled with water,
while the top pan is filled with ingredients that
shouldn’t receive direct heat. You can make your own
by fitting a heat-safe bowl over a saucepan filled with
water—just make sure the bowl doesn’t touch the
water.

Food Processor Food processors are powerful and


versatile machines—they slice, chop, grind, shred,
purée, and mix.

Electric Mixer Whether it’s in the form of a hand


mixer or a stand mixer, electric mixers really make
your ingredients that much easier to combine.

Candy Thermometer This cooking thermometer helps


you track the high temperatures involved in making
candy. It clips to the inside of your pan to monitor the
heat for precision cooking.

Wire Rack
Placing a pan of baked goods on a wire rack allows air
to circulate under the pan, leading to faster, even
cooling.

Microplane
This handheld tool easily removes citrus zest and
leaves the bitter pith behind. It can also be used for
grating ingredients, such as chocolate.
HOW TO DECARBOXYLATE
Decarboxylating cannabis is a simple yet
crucial step in the infusion process.
Heating the plant activates marijuana’s
psychoactive compound, THC.
1 Heat the oven to 240°F (115°C). (Use an oven
thermometer to make sure the temperature is exactly
correct.) Roll the buds gently between your palms to
crumble them, and place a thin layer of crumbled
cannabis on a rimmed baking sheet.

2 Bake for 45 minutes. (After 20 minutes, peer


through the top of the door; don’t open it fully or heat
will escape. Keep checking it every 5 minutes to
make sure it’s toasting evenly to a golden greenish-
brown.) Remove from the oven and allow to cool for
at least 20 minutes.

3 Using a food processor or knife, finely chop


cannabis. Store in a covered mason jar in a cool, dark
place.
OTHER METHODS OF DECARBOXYLATION
If you’re lucky enough to have a sous vide machine,
you have a way to decarb your cannabis with crazy
precision and virtually no cannabis smell. To decarb
with your sous vide machine, placed your vacuum-
sealed cannabis (grind it before placing it in the bag
to be vacuum sealed) in a pot filled with water and
heat your sous vide machine to 200°F (93°C). Once
your water has reached the desired temperature,
cook for 1 hour before removing your decarbed
cannabis. If you don’t have a sous vide machine, you
can decarb your cannabis in the oven using either the
method described in the previous steps or the faster
version, which involves a higher oven temperature.

method.

Doesn’t Cooking Within the Recipes


Decarboxylate the Pot?
When you’re making edibles, decarboxylation is a
crucial step. Without it, your recipes are unlikely to
achieve their maximum potential potency. While
the heat during the infusion and the heat during the
cooking in the recipe would activate some THCA to
THC, it might not active it all. So do you need to
decarb your cannabis first? We certainly
recommend it. However, if maximizing your THC
potency is not a requirement for you,
decarboxylation is a step you could skip.
Budding baker
Before baking, roll buds gently between your palms to
crumble them to the texture of oregano.
HOW TO CALIBRATE INFUSIONS
THE MOST CRITICAL PART OF
MAKING EDIBLES LIES IN THE
CALCULATION OF THC PER
SERVING.
THE AIM OF CALIBRATING
In our kitchen, we cook with 15 percent THC
cannabis. The cannabis you cook with in all likelihood
is very different—perhaps stronger, perhaps weaker.
Either way, if you want a 10mg THC per teaspoon
dose (the dose for the edibles in this book), you’ll
have to make some adjustments. It involves a little
math, but it’s nothing you can’t handle.

How to Calculate the Amount of THC per Serving


Our infusions are calibrated to produce 10mg THC
per teaspoon using 15 percent THC. If you have a
different percentage, use this table to determine
the cannabis-to-butter ratio.
THC (%) Cannabis (g)
5 21
10 10.5
15 7
20 5.5
25 4.5
30 3.5
Knowing the Potency
Infused butter and oil can be very potent; be careful when
ingesting until you know your dosage.
THC LOSS DURING INFUSION
During the decarboxylation and infusion process,
there is some THC loss. But if you follow our guide, it
will be minimal. We’ve found our butter and oil
infusions have a 20 percent loss of THC. So 1g of 15
percent THC cannabis has 150mg THC; however,
infused into butter or oil, you’ll get about 120mg
THC. The biggest key to maintaining potency is to
extract at a low temperature.

What If You Don’t Know the THC


Percentage of Your Pot?
If you don’t know the THC percentage of your
cannabis, follow our infusion guides and try a ½
teaspoon to assess its potency. Wait a day before
increasing your dose. If you’re ready for a 1-
teaspoon dose, you’re good to go. If you need less,
either make a record of that and proceed with
recipes using that dosage level, or add more
unsalted butter to weaken it. To make the infusion,
melt canna-butter and unsalted butter together in a
saucepan over low heat, stirring to combine
thoroughly. If you need more than 1 teaspoon,
make a record of your dosage level and increase
the amount of canna-butter in your recipes.
Excessive heat can burn off terpenes and cannabinoids. To
maintain potency, keep temperatures low.
HOW TO MAKE INFUSIONS
Butter and coconut oil are the most
popular and versatile infusions for baking.
The following steps walk you through how
to make each type.

Ingredients for Canna–Coconut Oil: 14 fl oz.


(414ml) coconut oil
7g cannabis, decarboxylated
and finely chopped
Ingredients for Canna-Butter:
16 oz. (454g) unsalted butter

Canna-Butter
SERVING SIZE 1 teaspoon
DOSAGE PER SERVING 10mg THC

YIELD 14 oz. (400g)


1 In a medium saucepan over low heat, heat coconut
oil or unsalted butter. Add decarboxylated cannabis
and stir to mix.

2 Continue to cook for 3 hours over low heat, stirring


mixture every 20 minutes with a spatula.

3 Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth and


place into a deep glass bowl. Carefully pour oil or
butter through the cheesecloth.
4 Press gently with a silicone spatula to strain oil or
butter from cannabis.
5 Lift the cheesecloth and squeeze any remaining oil
or butter into the bowl.

6 Allow oil or butter to cool, pour into a 16-ounce


(450g) container, and close with an airtight lid.

Storing Infusions
Canna–coconut oil keeps covered
at room temperature for 6 months.
Store away from sunlight.
Canna-butter keeps covered in the
refrigerator for 3 months or
wrapped well in the freezer for up
to 6 months. When freezing canna-
butter, it’s helpful to preportion it into smaller
sizes so you can defrost just the amount you
need.
HOW TO COOK WITH INFUSIONS
With a few simple dos and don’ts, you,
too, can master the art of cooking with
cannabis in all of your favorite dishes.
IN YOUR OWN FAVORITE
RECIPES
With a few adjustments, anything can be infused. If
you start by making canna-butter or canna–coconut
oil as outlined in this book, 1 teaspoon makes 1
serving. Swap as many teaspoons of regular butter or
oil for the canna version in the amount equal to the
number of servings in the dish.
Adding Infusions
You can swap in infused butter or oil for the regular version.
In this case, melted canna-butter is added to batter.
DISGUISING STRONG FLAVORS
OF INFUSIONS
Once you’ve swapped in the appropriate amount of
canna-butter or canna–coconut oil, you may need to
adjust the flavors to cover the cannabis taste. If your
recipe is already a flavorful dish, you may not need to
make any adjustments. However, if it’s more subtle,
you increase the flavorful ingredient(s) or add flavors
such as chocolate, coffee, peanut butter, and
cinnamon to better hide the taste.
Disguising Flavors
Peanut butter, coffee, and cinnamon are just a few things
you can use in your recipes to hide the flavor of an infusion.

GLOSSARY
bake To cook in a dry oven. Dry-heat cooking often results
in a crisping of the exterior of the food being cooked. Moist-
heat cooking—through methods such as steaming,
poaching, and so on—brings a much different, moist quality
to the food.
beat To quickly mix substances.
blend To completely mix something, usually with a blender
or food processor, slower than beating.
boil To heat a liquid to the point where water is forced to
turn into steam, causing the liquid to bubble. To boil
something is to insert it into boiling water. A rapid boil is
when a lot of bubbles form on the surface of the liquid.
brown To cook in a skillet, turning, until the food’s surface is
seared and brown in color, to lock in the juices.
cannabinoids Chemical compounds in the cannabis plant
resin that activate receptors throughout the human body
and brain.
cannabis The scientific name for the marijuana plant.
caramelize To cook sugar over low heat until it develops a
sweet caramel flavor, or to cook vegetables (especially
onions) or meat in butter or oil over low heat until they
soften, sweeten, and develop a caramel color.
CBD Cannabidiol, a cannabinoid in cannabis with lots of
health benefits. It doesn’t have the psychoactive effects of
THC.
chop To cut into pieces, usually qualified by an adverb such
as “coarsely chopped” or by a size measurement such as
“chopped into ½-inch pieces.” “Finely chopped” is much
closer to mince.
crystallized ginger Chopped ginger that has been dried
and candied.
custard A cooked mixture of eggs and milk that’s popular
as a base for desserts.
dash A few drops, usually of a liquid, released by a quick
shake.
decarboxylate To convert THCA into THC by heating
cannabis.
dice To cut into small cubes about ¼-inch (.5cm) square.
double boiler A set of two pots designed to nest together,
one inside the other, and provide consistent, moist heat for
foods that need delicate treatment. The bottom pot holds
water (not quite touching the bottom of the top pot); the top
pot holds the food you want to heat.
drizzle To lightly sprinkle drops of a liquid over food, often
as the finishing touch to a dish.
extract A concentrated flavoring derived from foods or
plants through evaporation or distillation. It imparts a
powerful flavor without altering the volume or texture of a
dish.
fold To combine a dense and light mixture with a circular
action from the middle of the bowl.
Greek yogurt A strained yogurt that’s a good natural
source of protein, calcium, and probiotics. Greek yogurt
averages 40 percent more protein per ounce than traditional
yogurt.
infusion A liquid in which flavorful ingredients such as
herbs have been soaked or steeped to extract their flavor
into the liquid.
Key lime A very small lime grown primarily in Florida
known for its tart taste.
knead To work dough to make it pliable so it holds gas
bubbles as it bakes. Kneading is fundamental in the process
of making yeast breads.
marijuana Slang for the cannabis plant.
pinch An unscientific measurement for the amount of an
ingredient—typically, a dry, granular substance such as an
herb or seasoning—you can hold between your finger and
thumb.
preheat To turn on an oven, broiler, or other cooking
appliance in advance of cooking so the temperature will be
at the desired level when the assembled dish is ready for
cooking.
purée To reduce a food to a thick, creamy texture, typically
using a blender or food processor.
reduce To boil or simmer a broth or sauce to remove some
of the water content, resulting in more concentrated flavor
and color.
resin The sticky, oily substance excreted from the cannabis
plant containing cannabinoids and terpenes.
sauté To pan-cook over lower heat than what’s used for
frying.
simmer To boil a liquid gently so it barely bubbles.
skillet (also frying pan) A generally heavy, flat-bottomed,
metal pan with a handle designed to cook food over heat on
a stovetop or campfire.
skim To remove fat or other material from the top of liquid.
steam To suspend a food over boiling water and allow the
heat of the steam (water vapor) to cook the food. This
quick-cooking method preserves a food’s flavor and texture.
terpenes Aromatic, flavorful oils excreted in the cannabis
plant resin.
THC Tetrahydrocannabinol, the primary cannabinoid found
in marijuana. It’s psychoactive and responsible for the
“high” associated with cannabis.
whisk To rapidly mix, introducing air into a mixture.
zest Small slivers of peel, usually from a citrus fruit, such as
a lemon, lime, or orange.
